Notes

  • Line a loaf pan with parchment paper to make it easy to remove and slice the loaf. 
  • Wipe the mushrooms clean with a damp paper cloth. 
  • Chop the mushrooms, onions, carrots and celery into small pieces. 
  • Mash the chickpeas into a paste. Using a food processor makes this process effortless. 
  • If you aren’t a fan of ketchup, use tomato paste instead. 
  • Don’t over mix or the meatloaf will be tough. 
  • Press firmly into the loaf pan. 
  • Let the meatloaf sit for 10-15 minutes before serving for a sturdier loaf.
  • Storage - keep leftovers wrapped tightly or in an airtight container inside the fridge for up to 4 days.
  • There are 3 WW Blue Plan SmartPoints in one serving of this.
